Abstract
During the past two decades Scandinavian archaeologists have increasingly participated in projects abroad. Only a few ofthe projects are based on past cultural-historical links, while the majority are based on comparative and collaborative perspectives, often on other continents. The reason for this development is partly the theoretical development within the discipline, and partly also changes in funding policies. This new situation presents Scandinavian rcsearchers with many practical, ethical and political challenges, but if we take them seriously we may often be rewarded.
Highlights
Scandinavian archaeologists have worked primarily within their own country
Scandinavian archaeologists were involved in inter-Nordic projects (Forntida garder i Island (e.g. Stäng), Iceland (Stenberger 1943); Vallhagar, Gotland in Sweden (Stenberger 1955); and to a lesser extent Borg, Norway
As the exception to the rule, a few Scandinavian archaeologists were directly involved in projects further afield
